PREFACE. 

'HE  collection  of  books  here  offered  for  sale  has  occupied 
the  leisure  hours  of  a  busy  life  for  many  years.  The 
owner  feels  that  he  is  parting  with  tried  and  trusted  friends, 
but  is  consoled  by  the  conviction  that  books  such  as  these  can 
appeal  only  to  those  who  will  equally  appreciate  and  value 
them.  ' '  The  criterion  of  literature  is  the  touch-stone  of  time, ' ' 
and  it  is  believed  that  there  are  very  few  books  in  this  coUec- 
>r  tion  that  have  not  passed  the  test  and  will  not  be  accepted  by 
>$     collectors  as  * '  pure  gold. ' ' 

Special  attention  has  been  paid  not  only  to  procuring  the 
rarest  books,  but  the  best  obtainable  copies  of  such  books. 
Mainly  of  the  Tennysonian  Period,  the  collection  also  includes 
the  standard  authors  of  the  Johnsonian  Era. 

Of  the  books  issued  during  the  latter  period  there  will  be 
found  Dr.   Johnson's  rare  "Prince  of  Abissinia"  and  the 
f^     "Vanity  of  Human  Wishes,"  and  some  particularly  rare  edi- 
'      tions  of  Goldsmith,  including  the  "Vicar  of  Wakefield"  and 
"Retaliation."     The  latter  charming  and  pleasantly  satirical 
"^     poem — ^the  last  work  of  Goldsmith,  published  two  weeks  after 
his  death — is  one  of  his  books  that  should  be  most  cherished 
by  his  admirers.  It  was  a  reply  to  Garrick's  humorous  epitaph 
on  Goldsmith,  written  on  the  spur  of  the  moment  in  a  com- 
pany of  friends : 

' '  Here  lies  Nolly  Goldsmith,  for  shortness  call  'd  Noll 
Who  wrote  like  an  angel,  but  talked  like  poor  Poll. ' ' 

^!5j^  Goldsmith  in  his  ' '  Retaliation ' '  poked  pleasant  fun  at  all  the 
^  wits  of  the  town,  and  the  last  lines  ever  penned  by  him  are  the 
^  two  in  that  poem  referring  to  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds : 

* '  When  they  talked  of  their  Eaphaels,  Correggios  and  stuff. 
He  shifted  his  trumpet  and  only  took  snuff."

The  works  of  both  Smollett  and  Fielding  are  First  Editions, 
and  only  those  who  have  endeavored  to  obtain  them  can  appre- 
ciate the  difficulty  of  securing  them  in  this  state.  ' '  The  Critic, '  * 
"She  Stoops  to  Conquer,"  "The  School  for  Scandal"  and 
other  pieces  by  Sheridan  are  the  First  and  rare  editions. 

A  little  later  in  the  Eighteenth  Century  come  those  authors 
who  really  extend  into  and  influence  the  early  Tennysonian 
Era — Shelley,  Keats,  Coleridge  and  Wordsworth.  Of  the  first 
named  there  are  "Adonais,"  "Laon  and  Cythna,"  "The 
Cenci,"  "Rosalind  and  Helen,"  "The  Revolt  of  Islam,"  and 
others  equally  rare ;  and  the  three  "slender  volumes"  of  Keats 
exquisitely  bound  by  Bedford.  There  is  also  the  "Lyrical  Bal- 
lads ' '  of  Wordsworth,  1798,  containing  the  first  appearance  of 
the  "Ancient  Mariner,"  and  a  copy  in  the  original  boards, 
uncut,  of  the  two- volume  edition  of  the  '  *  Poems, ' '  1807.  Cole- 
ridge's  "Sibylline  Leaves"  is  entirely  uncut  and  his  "Re- 
morse, ' '  1813,  for  which  Charles  Lamb  wrote  the  Prologue,  is 
the  edition  of  which  the  sanguine  author  wrote  to  the  Gentle 
Elia  that  he  would  make  over  £400  by  it,  but  confessed  later 
that  the  edition  would  probably  last  for  years. 

The  reader  of  Wordsworth  and  Coleridge  is  also  a  reader 
of  Charles  Lamb,  and  of  the  latter  there  is  a  large  collection, 
beginning  with  his  first  attempts  at  poetry  in  the  little  volume 
published  by  Charles  Lloyd  and  Coleridge  in  1796,  and  his 
own  first  separate  publication,  "A  Tale  of  Rosamund  Gray," 
is  in  the  original  (half  leather)  binding  and  there  are  others 
in  boards,  all  as  issued.  It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  point  out 
the  rarity  of  first  editions  of  "Tales  from  Shakespeare," 
"John  Woodvil"  and  the  "Essays  of  Elia,"  not  omitting  the 
mention  of  Talfourd's  own  copy  of  Charles  Lamb's  Letters, 
interleaved  with  his  MS.  annotations  and  additions  of  parts 
omitted  from  the  published  version,  and  some  original  Lamb 
letters.  The  Walter  Savage  Landor  collection  i^  probably  the 
most  complete  ever  offered.  It  includes  a  unique  copy  of 
"Imaginary  Conversations,"  with  proof  sheets  of  additional 
conversations  bound  in  and  four  letters  of  Landor  to  Lady 
Blessington.  The  writings  of  Leigh  Hunt  and  Hazlitt  are  in 
the  first  editions. 

The  works  of  Elizabeth  Barrett  and  Robert  Browning  in- 
clude the  "Poems,"  1844,  which  is  a  presentation  copy  from 
Mrs.  Browning;  and  her  husband's  "Bells  and  Pomegranates" 
is  the  copy  he  gave  to  Miss  Chorley,  the  sister  of  the  well- 


known  musical  critic.  A  Manuscript  Poem  and  Letters  add  to 
the  interest  of  this  division,  and  other  rarities  include  the 
(Reading)  edition  of  the  "Sonnets,"  the  "Runaway  Slave" — 
the  first  book  to  which  Mrs.  Browning  signed  her  married 
name;  her  "Essay  on  Mind,"  written  when  only  seventeen; 
"Prometheus  Bound,"  which  she  later  suppressed;  a  presenta- 
tion copy  of  Browning's  "Sordello,"  and  the  rare  separate 
issues  of  the  "Statue  and  the  Bust,"  "Cleon"  and  "Gold 
Hair." 

I  feel  a  justifiable  pride  in  the  Tennyson,  Dickens,  Thack- 
eray, Fitzgerald,  Rossetti  and  Swinburne  collections.  Tlie 
First  Issue  of  "Pickwick,"  in  the  original  parts,  uncut,  is,  I 
believe,  unequalled,  and  only  the  experienced  collector  will 
appreciate  the  time  and  labor  required  to  make  up  the  com- 
plete set  with  every  part  in  the  right  state.  The  other  Dickens 
items  are  also  in  the  best  states  and  earliest  issues,  and,  of  the 
books  of  Thackeray,  "Vanity  Fair,"  in  the  original  parts,  is 
very  difficult  to  obtain.  The  "Second  Funeral  of  Napoleon" 
is  well  known  to  Thackeray  collectors,  though  exceedingly 
rare  in  the  original  wrappers.  Thackeray's  other  writings 
include  both  his  earlier  and  later  works  and  the  books  illus- 
trated by  him  when  he  believed  his  forte  to  be  drawing,  not 
fiction. 

Contemporary  with  these  writers  is  a  host  of  others  whose 
work  time  has  stamped  with  the  mark  of  permanence.  George 
Eliot,  Charles  Lever,  "Father  Prout"  (who  should  be  in- 
cluded for  his  "Bells  of  Shandon"),  George  Borrow,  Charles 
Reade,  R.  H.  Barham,  the  Bronte  Sisters  (including  the  first 
issue  of  the  "Poems,"  1846,  with  the  Aylott  &  Jones  imprint 
and  "Jane  Eyre"),  and  others  that  want  of  space  prevents 
enumerating. 

Attention  should  also  be  called  to  a  few  special  rarities. 
Among  the  Tennysons  will  be  found  the  privately  printed 
* '  Helen 's  Tower, ' '  to  which  has  been  added  the  original  manu- 
script of  Browning's  Poem  on  the  tower  written  at  Lord 
Dufferin's  request;  the  first  edition  of  "Poems  by  Two  Broth- 
ers"; "Poems,"  1830;  the  privately  printed  edition  of  "The 
Cup,"  and  others;  "The  Germ,"  "Sister  Helen,"  and  the 
privately  printed  "Verses,"  1881,  by  Dante  Gabriel  Rossetti; 
and  also  two  manuscripts,  his  translations  of  Burger's 
"Lenore,"  and  "William  and  Helen."  There  is  a  wonder- 
ful collection  of  first  editions  of  Swinburne,  Morris,  Oscar 


Wilde  and  Whistler,  and  complete  sets  of  the  first  editions  of 
Walter  Pater,  John  Addington  Symonds,  Thomas  Hardy, 
and  George  Meredith  (including  an  inscribed  copy  of  the  lat- 
ter's  "Poems,"  1851)  ;  also,  complete  collections  of  Stephen 
Phillips  and  Maurice  Hewlett,  and  a  long  line  of  Andrew 
Lang. 

Fine  examples  are  also  to  be  found  of  the  work  of  Cobden- 
Sanderson,  Douglas  Cockerell,  Francis  Bedford,  Charles 
Lewis,  Riviere,  Zaehnsdorf,  and  other  binders. 

It  is  believed  that  this  collection  of  English  books  relating  to 
the  Georgian  and  Victorian  periods  is  one  of  the  most  impor- 
tant in  point  of  rarity,  numbers  and  quality  that  has  been 
offered  to  the  public  in  recent  years.  The  fact  that  the  works 
are  of  the  correct  issue  and  in  such  exceptionally  fine  condition 
is  largely  attributable  to  my  friend,  Mr.  Walter  M.  Hill  of 
Chicago,  through  whom  practically  all  the  rare  items  were 
secured — they  are  in  fact  "Hill  Books,"  and  those  who  have 
had  books  from  him  will  appreciate  what  that  means.

G9.  BIBLIOPHILE  SOCIETY.  The  First  and  Last 
Journeys  of  Thoreau  and  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  by  Henry 
David  Thoreau,  both  of  which  were  lately  discovered  among 
his  Unpublished  Journals  and  Manuscripts.  Edited  by 
Franklin  Benjamin  Sanborn  and  Henry  Aiken  Metcalf. 
Portraits  and  facsimiles.  3  vols,  royal  8vo,  origiual  half 
calf,  uncut,  in  slip  cases.  Bost.  1905 

*Fine  examples  of  the  Bibliophile  Society's  publications. 
Only  489  copies  of  each  were  printed.  By  courtesy  of  the 
owner  of  the  original  manuscripts  these  volumes  are  here  first 
published.  The  First  and  Last  Journeys  contains  accounts  of 
Thoreau's  journey  to  the  West.  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  was 
Thoreau's  favorite  character  in  English  history,  and  the  original 
manuscript  shows  that  the  work  was  written  with  scrupulous 
cai'e,  he  having  written  out  no  less  than  three  separate  drafts 
before  getting  it  finally  to  suit  him.  In  thus  departing  from 
the  natural  bent  of  his  genius  and  devoting  himself  to  the  ex- 
ploits of  this  adventurous  knight,  Thoreau  reveals  a  hitherto 
unknown  phase  in  his  literary  character.

*  An  immaculate  copy  of  the  First  Edition.  Rare.  Wise 
says  that  the  history  of  this  little  brochure  certainly  merits  a 
place  in  the  Romance  of  Bibliography.  It  was  printed  by 
Arabel  Barrett  for  a  bazaar  to  benefit  the  "  Refuge  for  young 
destitute  girls  "  and  published  at  six  pence.  Few  copies  found 
buyers  and  the  pamphlet  became  very  rare.  In  1887,  thirty- 
three  years  after  they  had  been  printed,  a  parcel  of  them 
turned  up  in  a  London  auction  room,  and  the  bookseller  into 
whose  hands  they  fell  advertised  them  at  tivo  shillings.  They 
rapidly  disappeared  at  this  price,  and  now  command  a  high 
figure.

Browning, 

*  "  7  have  neither  the  right  nor  the  wish  to  withhold  my  con- 
sent to  the  appearance  of  the  volume ;  what  I  am  compelled  to 
refuse  is  my  cooperation  with  its  author  in  so  far  as  that  im- 
plies giving  information  or  allowing  letters  to  be  inspected  in 
any  case  whei'e  I  have  control.  I  seemed  bound  to  permit  the 
publication  of  Mr.  Home's  book,  inasmuch  as  the  correspond- 
ence was  literary  only,  between  persons  who  had  never  seen 
each  other,  etc." 

This  alludes  to  the  letters  of  Miss  Barrett  and  R.  H.  Home 
which  were  published  in  1877.     [See  Lot  No.  132.]

founded  on  the  Susquehanna  River,  Pennsylvania,  and 
containing  an  original  sonnet  written  when  rebuffed  by 
A  young  lady  (Sara  Fricker  whom  he  afterward  married?) 
on  account  of  "  his  American  Scheme,"  as  he  calls  it  (a  small 
hole  where  the  seal  has  been  torn  but  the  piece  with  all  the 
words  is  attached  to  the  seal) ;  several  letters  of  Bishop  Bloom- 
field,  others  of  Samuel  Butler,  Lucy  Aikin,  Christopher  Words- 
worth (brother  of  the  poet).  Dr.  Burney,  Southey  (mentions 
Wordsworth  and  his  Sonnets),  Alex.  Chalmers,  J.  Montgomery, 
Wm.  Gilford,  and  others.  With  portraits  (22)  of  many  of  these 
men  and  others ;  also  views,  etc. 

The  37  letters  which  have  been  placed  in  this  book  are  not 
merely  polite  notes,  or  "examples"  of  the  autograph  of  the 
writers.  Nearly  all  are  of  2  and  3  4to  pages  in  length,  full  of 
matters  of  literary  or  current  interest  and  form  a  most  attrac-

tive  picture  of  the  old-fashioned  courtesy  and  friendliness  of 
the  day. 

Dibdiu's  own  letter  to  Wrangham  is  a  splendid  example  of 
this : 

"  I  have  the  pleasure — need  I  add  anything? 

You  were  yesterday  made  and  now  are,  in  short, 
one  of  tis—Roxburghers.  having  been  proposed  by  Heber  & 
seconded  by  Yours  truly,  T.  F.  Dibdin. 

Lord  Norpeth  came  in  after  you  were  elected.  I 
hope  you  will  dance  for  joy." 

The  fine  Coleridge  letter,  written  to  Wrangham  when  both 
were  hardly  more  than  boys,  is  mainly  as  follows: 

"I  wished  to  write  you  particularly  concerning  your 
Imitation  Scheme — my  first  advice  is  tliat  you  should  drop  it 
altogether  and  apply  your  abilities  to  original  compositions — 
perhaps  to  genteel  Comedy — as  a  department  of  Literature 
most  lucrative  &  may  I  not  add  peculiarly  adapted  to  your 
cast  of  Genius?  I  have  sent  you  the  Tragedy  of  Robespierre — 
My  head  throbs  so  violently  and  my  Spirits  are  so  low  that  I 
shall  just  add  a  Sonnet  &  conclude — It  was  occasioned  by  a 
letter  (which  I  lately  received  from  a  Young  Lady  whom 
for  Hve  years  I  loved — almost  to  madness)  dissuasive  from  my 
American  Scheme — but  where  Justice  leads  I  will  follow — 
though  the  path  be  through  thorns  of  roughness 

The  Scotts  desire  their  compliments.  Compliments!  Cold 
aristocratic  Inanities!  I  abjure  their  nothingness.  If  there 
be  any  whom  I  deem  worthy  of  remembrance — I  am  their 
Brother.  I  call  even  my  Cat  Sister  in  the  Fraternity  of  Uni- 
versal Nature.  Owls  I  respect  and  Jack  Apes  I  love:  for 
Aldermen  &  Hogs,  Bishops  &  Royster  Crows  I  have  not  par- 
ticular partiality — they  are  my  Cousins  however,  at  least,  by 
Courtesy.  But  Kings,  Wolves,  Tygers,  Generals,  Ministers  & 
Hyaenas  I  renounce  them  all. 

May  the  Almighty  Pantisocratizer  of  Souls  pantisocratize 
the  Earth  and  bless  you  and 

S.  T.  Coleridge,  Oct.  24,  1794." 

Then  follows  the  Sonnet.

London,  1836-7 

*  One  of  the  finest  copies  op  the  Immortal  ' '  Pickwick  ' ' 

in  existence,   contaijiing  several  unuSual  features    (some  of 

38 


whicli  are  not  in  any  other  copy  [with  one  exception]  that  we 
can  trace  after  exhaustive  research),  notably  the  excessively 
RARE  Part  III,  having  ' '  with  illustrations  by  E.  W.  Buss  ' ' 
ON  FRONT  COVER,  and  with  the  other  "points"  that  are  required 
by  the  fastidiovis  collector.  The  following  description,  lengthy 
though  it  may  be,  we  feel  justified  in  using  to  describe  this 
copy: 

All  the  numbers  are  dated  1836. 

Part  I.  Covers  correct,  "with  four  illustrations  by  Seymour"  on 
front  cover  (which  only  appears  on  the  first  issue)  and  which 
was  afterwards  altered  to  "With  Illustrations" ;  inside  front 
cover  blank,  back  inside  cover  blank,  reverse  of  which  com- 
mences "The  Library  of  Fiction."  With  the  excessively 
RARE  first  Pickwick  advertisement,  pp.  4,  announcing 
"Sunday  Under  Three  Heads"  [this,  however,  is  misplaced; 
should  be  in  Part  III].  The  four  illustrations  are  actually  from 
the  Seymour  plates,  of  which  it  is  said  that  not  more  than  300 
impressions  were  taken,  the  plates  having  been  so  lightly 
etched  that  they  would  not  stand  the  strain  of  further  print- 
ing. When,  on  the  introduction  of  Sam  Weller,  the  book  was 
assured  a  success,  copies  of  these  plates  were  made  with  the 
following  differences:  Plate  1:  "Mr.  PiclcwicTc  addresses  the 
Club."  Seymour  plate,  Mr.  Pickwick's  buttons  on  his  vest 
are  on  the  right  side;  "Phiz"  plate,  the  buttons  arc  on  the 
left  side.  Plate  2:  "The  Pugnacious  Cabman."  The  milk- 
maid is  clearly  defined  in  the  original  and  not  so  in  the 
"Phis"  copy.  Plate  3:  "The  Sagacious  Dog."  The  game- 
keeper's gun  has  lock  and  trigger;  second  state,  both  are 
omitted.  Plate  4:  "Dr.  Hammer's  defiance  of  Tingle." 
There  are  10  boards  on  floor,  second  state  has  11.  Page  26, 
the  last  page  of  this  number,  is  headed  "Posthumous  Papers, 
etc.,"  instead  of  "Posthumous  Papers  of." 

Part  II.  Covers  correct,  '  *  With  four  Illustrations  by  Seymour ' ' 
on  front  cover  (which  only  appears  on  the  first  issue),  only 
three,  however,  were  issued,  the  third,  "The  Dying  Clown," 
the  artist  having  scarcely  fijiished  when  he  blew  his  brains 
out,  it  being  said  on  account  of  Dickens  reaping  all  the  bene- 
fit, and  he  only  a  paid  servant.  Inside  front  cover  blank, 
back  inside  cover  blank,  outside  back  cover  advertises  "The 
Library  of  Fiction."     Also,  the  Very  Bare  printed  address 

ANNOUNCING  THE  DEATH  OF  SEYMOUR. 

Part  III.     COVERS  COREECT,  "With  Illustrations  by  B.   W. 

Buss,"    IN   WHICH    STATE   IT   IS   OF   EXTREME   RARITY,   it   being 

afterwards  altered  to  ' '  With  Illustrations, ' '  the  copy  sold  by 
us  last  Jan.  being  of  the  latter  kind.  The  illustrations  "The 
Cricliet  Match"  and  the  "Arbour  Scene"  are  famous  on  ac- 
count of  their  not  being  satisfactory  to  the  author,  and  which 
were  changed  in  the  second  issues.  Inside  cover  blank,  back 
inside  cover  blank,  reverse  advertises  "The  Library  of  Fic- 
tion," also  the  famous  "Address,"  not  usually  found  with 
the  part,  which  relates  partly  to  the  new  illustrator  of  ' '  Pick- 
wick" .  .  .  "Mr.  Buss  a  gentleman  already  Tcnown  to  the 
public  as  a  very  humorous  and  talented  artist,"  etc.  Also, 
at  the  end  appears  the  first  paid  advertisement  headed 
"The  Toilet,"  and  advertising  Rowland  and  Sons  Toilet 
Preparations.     Of  this  Advertisement  it  is  SAH)  that  ONLY 

ONE  OTHER  COPY  IS  KNOWN  TO  EXIST. 

[See  note  to  Part  I.  for  description  of  the  first  "PicTcwick 
Advertiser,"  usually  found  with  this  part.] 

89 


Part  IV.  Inside  covers  advertising  "The  Library  of  Fiction," 
back  cover  advertising  "The  Pictorial  Album"  instead  of 
"No.  IV  of  The  Library  of  Fiction,"  the  latter  appearing 
only  on  the  first  few  copies.  No  " Fichwick  Advertiser," 
pp.  4.  It  was  to  this  part  that  "Phiz"  first  submitted  his 
work  to  illustrate  the  book,  the  earliest  impressions  of  which 
are  known  as  follows:  "The  Breakdown,"  p.  89,  has  Nemo 
engraved  on  left-hand  corner,  and  "First  Appearance  of  Mr. 
Samuel  Welter";  on  right-hand  corner  are  N.  E.  M.  O.,  this 
being  Browne 's  sobriquet,  which  he  used  for  the  last  time. 

Part  V.  Covers  correct,  contains  "The  Pickwick  Advertiser," 
pp.  4.  Also,  (1)  Plate,  "Mrs.  Bardell  Faints,"  the  orna- 
ments on  the  shelf  are  different;  and  (2)  Plate,  "Election  at 
Eataneville,"  the  Beadle's  legs  are  straight;  in  later  issues 
they  are  bow-legged. 

Part  VI.  Covers  correct,  contains  "The  Pickwick  Advertiser," 
the  front  inside  cover  advertising  "Sunday  Under  Three 
Meads" ;  also,  with  the  rare  slip,  at  end,  "Phrenology  made 
Iuu<y."  The  plate  " Setninary  for  Young  Ladies,"  has  a 
bell  on  the  door  (first  state). 

Part  VII.  With  "Pickwick  Advertiser,"  with  plates  "Mr.  Pick- 
wick in  the  Pound"  (on  which  are  two  donkeys),  and  Sam's 
legs  are  together,  both  of  which  are  first  state. 

Part  VIII.  Front  and  back  inner  covers  blank,  "Library  of  Fic- 
tion" on  back  cover;  also,  both  chairs  have  different  tops. 
No  "Pickwick  Advertiser." 

Part  IX.  Covers  correct,  with  "The  Pickwick  Advertiser"  and 
advertisements  at  end  commencing  ' '  Chapman  and  Hall ' '  and 
containing  advertisement  of  "Library  of  Fiction"  No.  9,  14 
pages  in  all,  and  with  the  illustrated  advertisement  from 
Effingham  Wilson,  Jr.,  pp.  4.  Plate  "Mr.  Weller  attacks," 
the  attendant  at  back  of  Sedan  chair  is  different;  also,  the 
kitten  on  the  stool  is  different,'  both  of  which  are  in  first  state. 

Part  X.  Covers  correct,  inside  front  cover  advertising  "Popular 
Works  Just  Published" ;  also,  with  "The  Pickwick  Adver- 
tiser," with  plate  "The  Goblin  and  the  Sexton"  in  first 
state,  the  bone  being  away  from  the  skull  and  the  face  in  the 
tree;  also,  with  the  address  dated  Dec.  1836,  and  with  the 
advertisements  at  end  commencing  "Literary  Announce-

*  First  Edition,  of  which  probably  not  more  than  250  copies

"  This  volume,  as  we  learn  from  Fitzgerald's  letter,  was  un- 
favorably noticed  in  the  Leader  and  in  the  Athenceum,  on  its 
first  appearance.  .  .  .  This  determined  spite  of  the  ^f/ie/xcewm, 
however,  disconcerted  him  and  he  called  in  all  the  unsold 
copies,  with  the  result  that  the  book  is  now  excessively  rare."

Khayy4m,  The  Astronomer-Poet  of  Persia.  Small  4to, 
original  grey  wrappers,  as  issued. 

Lond. :  Bernard  Quaritch,  1859 

*  An  exceptionally  fine  copy  of  the  very  rare  First 
Edition,  and,  but  for  the  name  of  the  original  purchaser  writ- 
ten on  the  upper  margin  of  the  front  cover,  the  pamphlet  is  as 
crisp  and  spotless  as  when  it  came  from  the  printer's  hands. 

The  translation  of  this  celebrated  poem  was  finished  in  Jan- 
uary, 1858,  when  it  was  sent  to  the  editor  of  Frazer's  Magazine 
who  kept  it  by  him  a  whole  year  and  then  returned  it  to  the 
author.  Fitzgerald  then  had  the  poem  printed  by  Quaritch — 
the  edition  consisting  of  no  more  than  250  copies,  of  which  200 
were  left  in  the  publisher's  hands.  The  work  did  not  sell  and 
after  a  time  was  tlu-own  out  in  quantities  on  the  penny  stand. 
Both  Swinburne  and  Rossetti  tell  of  having  purchased  copies 
at  that  meagre  price.  Unfortunately  for  the  publisher,  the 
edition  was  scattered  before  the  merits  of  the  poem  were  rec- 
ognized, and  there  being  but  little  to  recommend  the  work 
(besides  its  own  inherent  beauty,  which  in  performances  of  this 
kind  are  seldom  appreciated  on  their  first  appearance)  the 
greater  number  of  copies  were  lightly  thrown  aside  and  de- 
stroyed. The  original  edition  is  now  one  of  the  rarest  items  of 
Victorian  literature.

*  It  is  now  generally  believed  that  this  story,  a  moral  tale 
designed  for  the  instruction  of  youth,  was  edited  and  revised 
by  Goldsmith,  and  probably  improved  here  and  there  with  an 
occasional  paragraph  of  his  own  composition.     In  the  book  it- 
self the  author  pays  this  publisher  a  compliment  strongly  sug- 
gestive of  a  similar  tribute  addressed  to  Newbery  in  "The  Vicar

eight  Sonnets  and  a  Dedication. 

Fine  uniform  set  of  these  rare  little  volumes  seldom 
found  together.  Volume  1  contams  the  Errata  and  page  of 
advertisements,  etc. 

THE  EXTREMELY  RARE  FIRST  EDITION. 

703.  LAMB  (CHARLES).  A  Tale  of  Rosamund  Gray 
and  Old  Blind  Margaret.  12mo,  original  half  leather 
(slightly  rubbed).     Lond. :  Printed  for  Lee  and  Hurst,  1798 

*  First  Edition,  extremely  rare.  The  first  book  of  which 
Charles  Lamb  was  sole  author,  and  his  first  printed  prose  work. 
The  book  seems  to  have  taken  its  title  from  a  poem  in  the  1795 
volume  of  "  Poems  "  by  Lamb's  friend;  Charles  Lloyd.  It  was 
well  received,  and  on  the  20th  day  of  May,  1799,  Lamb  wrote 

to  Southey !  "  Rosamond  sells  well  in  London,  malgre  the  non-     _  y 

renewal  of  it."     But  the  Monthly  Review  noticed  it  in  August,   ^ Qo  ,   

1868,  saying,  "Mr.  Lamb  has  here  proved  himself  skilful  in 
touching  the  nicest  feelings  of  the  heart  and  in  affording  great 
pleasure  to  the  imagination,"  etc.  Needless  to  say,  the  book 
is  extremely  rare.  Even  in  1815,  Talfourd  saj's  that  he  was 
only  able  to  find  a  copy  "after  earnest  search  in  all  the  book 
stalls  within  the  scope  of  my  walk."

704.  LAMB  (CHARLES).  John  Woodvil:  a  Tragedy. 
By  C.  Lamb.  To  which  are  added  Fragments  of  Burton, 
the  author  of  the  Anatomy  of  Melancholy.  12mo,  original 
BOARDS  (back  slightly  damaged),  uncut,  in  lettered  silk 
slip  case.  Lond.  1802 

*  First  Edition  and  entirely  uncut.  Very  rare  in  this 
state.  With  the  following  inscription  written  on  the  fly-leaf: 
"  To  Miss  Burchell  ivith  the  author  s  best  regards — N.  B.  The 
poor  author  has  a,  great  respect  for  Miss  BurcheU's  father." 

This  was  Lamb's  first  attempt  at  play-writing,  which  he 
sent  to  Charles  Kemble  in  the  hope  of  the  actor's  presenting  it 
to  the  public,  but  Kemble  promptly  lost  the  MS.,  and  in  con- 
sequence Lamb  had  to  write  another  version.  In  the  first  let- 
ter which  Lamb  wrote  to  Southey,  alluding  to  it,  he  said,  /  . 
"My  tragedy  toill  he  a  medley  of  laughter  and  tears — songn,  / / flj  , 
wit,  pathos,  humor — Heaven  send  they  dance  not  the  dance  of 
death. "  It  is  particularly  interesting  as  the  first  evidence  of 
Lamb's  study  of  the  dramatic  poetry  of  the  Elizabethan  age, 
in  whose  revival  he  bore  so  large  a  part.  Wm.  Godwin,  acci- 
dentally seeing  the  delicious  rhymed  passage  in  the  "Forest 
Scene,"  took  it  for  a  choice  fragment  from  one  of  the  old 
dramatists  and  went  to  Lamb  to  assist  him  in  finding  the 
author. 

"  The  Fragments  of  Burton  "  was  a  mild  attempt  at  a  liter- 
ary forgery  on  the  part  of  Lamb.  The  poem  "To  Helen  "  is 
Mary  Lamb's  first  appearance  in  print.  Of  this  Lamb  wrote 
to  Coleridge,  Aug.  26,  1800,  "  How  do  you  like  this  little  epi- 
gram. It  is  not  my  ivriting  nor  had  I  any  finger  in  it — /  will 
just  hint  that  it  is  almost  or  quite  a  first  attempt." —

730.  LAMB  (MARY).  Long  A.  L.  S.,  3  pp.  folio,  with-

Sarah  Stoddart,  afterward  the  wife  of  Wm.  Hazlitt,  arrang- 
ing for  their  marriage. 

*  A  characteristic  and  most  delightful  letter,  in  wliich  the 
little  Old  Maid  declares  that  "  next  to  the  pleasure  of  being 
married  is  the  pleasure  of  making,  or  helping  marriage  for- 
ward." She  makes  frequent  references  to  Charles  Lamb,  and, 
after  offering  their  house  for  the  ceremony,  tells  Miss  Stoddart 
that  lier  own  brother  expresses  a  desire  that  she  be  married  at 
his  house:  "We  would  not  quarrel  unnecessarily  with  your 
brother.  Let  there  be  a  clear  necessity  shown,  and  we  will 
quarrel  with  anybody's  brother.  The  reason  I  have  not  written 
lately  I  thought  it  best  to  leave  you  all  to  the  workings  of  your 
own  minds  in  this  momentous  affair,  in  ivhich  the  inclinations 
of  a  bye-stander  have  a  right  to  form  a  wish  but  not  to  give  a 
vote,  etc.'' 

The  marriage  did  not  take  place  until  1808,  and  turned  out 
very  badly,  with  a  divorce  in  1822,  just  before  Hazlitt  wrote 
"  Liber  Amoris.

737.  LANDOR  (WALTER  SAVAGE).  A.  L.  S  ,  in  full, 
3  pp.  4to,  Aug.  17,  1818,  To  Mr.  Jerwood,  Barrister,  who 
objected  to  Landor  sheltering  himself  on  his  veranda  from 
a  downpour  of  rain. 

*A  very  characteristic  letter,  showing  that  Landor,  although 
an  old  man,  was  still  capable  of  being  aroused  to  a  violent  pas- 
sion. The  letter  is  hastily  and  almost  illegibly  written,  under 
the  influence  of  his  anger  at  the  insult: 

'  'Permit  me  to  recall  to  your  memory  your  insulting  language 
and  violent  demeanor  of  yesterday,  and  to  regret  that  I  have  no 
friend  at  Exeter  who  could  express  to  you  my  sentiments  in- 
stead of  this  letter.  When  I  reminded  you  that  such  language 
was  not  applied  to  a  gentleman,  you  expressed  a  doubt  whether  . 

I  am  one.    I  gave  you  all  the  benefit  of  this  doubt,  knowine/  that      9/ 
only  a  gentleman  can  judge  of  one  correctly.    But  I  thought  my   iPC^  $  — — ' 
manner,   my  language  and  my  tone  were  unmistakable,  and 
{lohat  you  are  more  capable  of  appreciating),  my  dress,  etc. " 

Landor  then  mentions  the  names  of  several  families  he  had 
been  visiting,  "  in  whose  society  you  never  will  be  admitted  un- 
less (to  their  sorro^v)  professionally — there  is  no  great  bravery 
in  thus  insulting  a  man  of  seventy-three,  ivithout  a  cane  or  whip 
in  his  hand;  but  the  man  of  seventy  three  has  not  yet  forgotten, 
in  case  of  necessity  and  at  a  proper  time  and  place,  to  repell 
a  ruffian  and  to  spurn  a  coward." 

The  letter  is  "Boy thorn"  (see  Dickens'  Bleak  House)  all 
through.  It  is  accompanied  with  a  number  of  clippings  from 
the  Athenaeum  discussing  Landor,  his  trouble  with  his  wife, 
etc.

three  long  and  interesting  letters  TO  Lady  Blessington, 
1842-43,  mentioning  his  ''Imaginary  Conversations"  several 
times,  and  other  literary  work.  Among  other  things  he  says: 
"I  detest  the  character  of  Bousseau  'but  I  cannot  resist  his  elo- 
quence— Demosthenes  was  a  contracted  heart  and  even  Milton's 
was  wrinTcle'd  hy  the  sourness  of  theology— ^I  had  forgotten  Bos- 
suet  hut  his  eloquence  is  mostly  under  a  bell."  Again  he  says: 
' '  Taylor  will  soon  be  able  to  arrange  for  me  about  the  last  volume 
of  'Imaginary  Conversations' — I  have  enough  and  m,ore  than 
enough  materials  for  this  last  volume." — "Among  the  rest  is  a 
conversation  of  Michael  Angelo  and  Vittoria  Colonna" — "there 
will  be  three  volumes  to  each  series  and  about  a  hundred  Con- 
versations I  thinTi.  I  wish  to  see  my  work  completed  before  my 
^eath — When  I  sent  you  the  Conversation  of  Oesop  and  Ehodope 
I  was  well  aware  it  could  not  appear  in  the  forthcoming  Book  of

Emerson  published  his  "English  Traits,"  in  which  Landor  was 
treated  with  rather  unmannerly  freedom.  Landor  was  roused 
to  a  pitch  of  considerable  excitement  and  hastily  printed  this 
pamphlet  in  his  turn  in  his  own  defence,     A  fine,  tall  copy.

That  he,  tie  soft  gold  of  thy  gleaming  baud 
Passing  across  his  heavy  lids,  sealed  down 
.With  weight  of  many  nights  and  nightlika  das9

The  face  of  nature.    •     •     •     • 
Bis  bhnd  eyes  wept.

*  First  Edition.  Probably  this  is  the  rarest  of  William 
Morris'  works,  only  a  few  copies  having  been  privately  printed. 
So  rare  is  this  volume  that  it  was  unknown  to  Mr.  Buxton- 
Forman  when  his  "  Books  of  William  Morris"  went  to  press 
in  1897.  It  is  noticed,  however,  in  the  Appendix  to  that  work. 
The  present  copy  is  fi-om  the  library  of  Alfred  Higgings  with  a 
letter  addressed  to  him  by  S.  C  Cockerell,  former  secretary  of 
the  Kelmscott  Press,  saying: 

' '  Mr.  Morris  asks  me  to  send  you  a  copy  of  a  little  book  of 
which  Mr.  Morris  had  75  copies  printed  at  the  Chiswick  Press 
just  before  the  Kelmscott  Press  was  started.  His  intention  was 
to  have  the  initials  rubricated  by  hand,  but  Mr.  Morris  feels 
ever  that  even  thus  incomplete,  you  loill  consider  it  an  interest- 
ing momento." — Dated  March  y,  1898.

envelope. 

*  Fine  literary  letter,  mentions  his  writings;  and  says 
"  Imaginary  Portraits  "  is  his  best  work. 

"  The  little  essay  on  Pico  was  icritten  many  years  ago — He 
is  certainly  a  picturesque  and  in  some  ways  a  pathetic  figure. 
What  I  know  of  him  teas  mainly  derived  from  the  life  prefixed 
to  the  old  folio  edition  of  his  urritings. — I  think  the  best  of 
MY  own  books  is  THAT  ENTITLED  "  Imaginary  Portraits."

they  differ.  As  a  rule,  they  don't  do  much  reading, 
except  for  a  few  story-books,  till  they  are  about  fifteen 
years  old ;  we  don't  encourage  early  bookishness : 
though  you  will  find  some  children  who  will  take  to 
books  very  early ;  which  perhaps  is  not  good  for  them  ; 
but  it's  no  use  thwarting  them ;  and  very  often  it 
doesn't  last  long  with  them,  and  they  find  their  level 
before  they  are  twenty  years  old.  You  see,  children 
are  mostly  given  to  imitating  their  elders,  and  when 
they  see  most  people  about  them  engaged  in  genuinely 
amusing  work,  like  house-building  and  street-paving, 
and  gardening,  and  the  like,  that  is  what  they  want  to 
be  doing ;  so  I  don't  think  we  need  fear  havmg  too 
many  book-learnisd  men." 

What  could  I  say?  I  sat  and  held  my  peace,  for 
fear  of  fresh  entanglements.  Besides,  I  was  using  my 
eyes  with  all  my  might,  wondering  as  the  old  horse 
jogged  on,  when  I  should  come  into  London  proper, 
and  what  it  would  be  like  now. 

But  my  companion  couldn't  let  his  subject  quite 
drop,  and  went  on  meditatively  : 

"After  all,  I4on't  Ithbw  that  it  does  them  much  harm, 
even  if  they  do  grow  up  book-students.  Such  people 
as  that,  'tis  a  great  pleasure  seeing  them  so  happy  over 
work  which  is  not  much  ^sought  for.  And  besides, 
these  students  are  generally  such  pleasant  people ;  so 
kind  and  sweet  tempered ;  so  humble,  and  at  the  same 
time  so  anxious  to  teach  everybody  all  that  they  know. 
Reajly,  I  like  those  that  I  have  met  prodigiously." 

This  seemed  to  me  such  very  queer  talk  that  I  was 
on  the  point  of  asking  him  another  question  ;  when 
just  as  we  came  to  the  top  of  a  rising  ground,  down  a 
long  glade  of  the  wood  on  my  right  I  caught  sight  of 
a  stately  building  whose  outline  was  familiar  to  me, 
and  I  cried  out,  "  Westminster  Abbey  !  " 

"  Yes,"  said  Dick,  "  Westminster  Abbey — what  there 
.  is  left  of  it."

no  novelist  of  the  XlXth  century  has  done  more  towards  call- 
ing the  attention  of  the  public  towards  existing  abuses  than 
Charles  Reade.  His  famous  novel,  "It  is  Never  too  late  to

expose  social  abuses.

and  with  a  few  fox  marks,  text  and  plates  in  perfect  con- 
dition, enclosed  in  red  crushed  levant  morocco,  solander

*  The  extremely  rare  and  valuable  original  issue,  in 

PARTS    AS     issued.     OF    THE    ORGAN    OF    THE    PrE-RaPHAELITE 

Brotherhood.      It  has  all  the  original  wrappers  which  are 
very  scarce.     After  the  second  number  pi-inted  slips  with  the     n  t  j% 
change  of  name  were  issued,  to  be  pasted  on  the  covers  of  the  0i^/ 0*  ^* 
first  two  numbers.     This  copy  has  those  slips  so  pasted      It  is 
very  difficult  to  find  a  copy  in  the  original  parts,  nearly  all  hav- 
ing been  bound. 

It  contains  contributions  in  verse  and  prose  by  Thomas  Wooluer, 
Ford  Madox  Brown,  J.  L.  Tupper,  Coventry  Patmore,  Christina, 
Dante  Gabriel  and  W.M.Rossetti,  James  Collinson,W.  BellScott, 
and  others.  The  desire  of  the  Pre-Raphaelite  Brothers  to  give 
expression  to  their  feeling  of  revolt  against  conventionality  in 
art  led  to  starting  "The  Germ,"  the  first  number  of  which 
was  issued  in  January,  1850.  Three  others  foUow^ed,  February, 
March,  and  April  [usually  printed  May],  all  under  the  editor- 
ship of  W.  M,  Rossetti.  High  as  the  quality  of  the  magazine 
was,  it  met  with  little  recognition  and  no  commercial  suc- 
cess. Of  the  first  number  700  copies  were  printed,  of  which 
200  were  sold,  and  a  smaller  number  of  the  February  issue. 
After  the  February  number  Rossetti  and  his  friends  felt  that 
the  support  accorded  the  magazine  did  not  warrant  their  carry- 
ing it  on,  but  the  printers  shouldered  the  responsibihty,  chang- 
ing the  name  to  "Art  and  Poetry:  Being  Thoughts  towards 
Nature,"  and  two  more  numbers  were  issued,  when  it  died  a 
natural  death.  Among  the  famous  writings  from  D.  G.  Ros- 
setti's  pen  which  appeared  for  the  first  time  in  "  The  Germ  " 
were,  "Hand  and  Soul,"  "Tlie  Blessed  Damozel,"  "From  the 
Cliffs — Noon,"  later  called  "  Sea  Limits,"  "The Carillon,"  "My 
Sister's  Sleep." 

"This  little  magazine,  a  set  of  which  is  a  rare  bibliographical 
curiosity,  has  a  significance  of  a  very  marked  kind.  It  is  all 
fragrant  of  sincere  and  enthusiastic  youth  and  artistic  purpose. 
It  suggests  a  whole  background  of  ardent  impulsive  figures, 
inspired  by  a  generous  emotion,  and  determined  to  see  things 
with  their  own  eyes  and  to  say  them  in  their  own  way.  Thus 
though  the  little  pages  are  glorified  by  the  distinction  wliioh 
so  many  of  the  group  afterwards  achieved,  '  The  Germ  '  has  a 
real  and  intrinsic  value  of  its  own." — Benson's  Life  of  Rossetti.

1084.  ROSSETTI  (DANTE  GABRIEL),  HUNT  (HOL- 
MAN),  AND  MILLAIS  (J.  E.).  Poems,  by  Alfred  Tennyson. 
Illust.  by  Millais,  Rossetti,  Hunt,  and  others.  8vo,  original 
cloth,  uncut.  Lond. :  Moxon,  1857 

*  First  edition  of  the  Pre-Raphaelite  Tennyson,  now  scarce. 
Tennyson  and  Moxon  projected  this  edition,  and  it  is  believed 
to  have  been  at  the  poet's  suggestion  that  the  artists  were 
chosen.    The  illustrations  include  the  Lady  of  Shalott,  by  Hunt 

e^  and  Rossetti;  The  Palace  of  Art  (2),  by  Rossetti;  Mariana  in  the 

*-' #  — ^  South,  and  Sir  Galahad,  by  the  same;  Holman  Hunt  contributed 

Oriana  (2),  Lady  Godiva,  The  Beggar  Maid,  and  two  others; 
Millais  drew  the  pictures  for  Mariana,  Dream  of  Fair  Women 
(2).  Dora  (2),  St.  Agnes  Eve,  Locksley  Hall,  and  several  others, 

Rossetti's  designs  are  fewer  than  the  others  by  the  Brother- 
hood owing  to  iiis  procrastination  and  the  many  corrections 
and  alterations  he  made  during  the  engi-aving  of  the  blocks, 
absolutely  refusing  to  approve  anything  that  did  not  express 
exactly  the  idea  conveyed  by  his  drawing.  As  Rossetti's  art 
was  distinguished  by  its  independence  of  rules  and  convention- 
alties,  so  may  these  illustrations  of  his  be  found  not  strictly 
adhering  to  the  letter  of  the  text,  but  have  to  be  considered  as 
examples  of  the  .spirituality  and  intensity  of  feeling  which  were 
tlie  aim  of  the  Pre-Raphaelite  Brotherhood  at  their  best  period. 
Holman  Hunts  Lady  of  Shalott,  Rossetti's  St.  Cecilia,  and  Sir 
Galahad,  the  sweetness  and  simplicity  of  Millais'  St.  Agnes  and 
Edward  Gray  stand  forth  prominently  among  the  illustrations. 

Other  artists  were  Stanfield,  Mulready,  Horsley,  etc.  Thomas 
Woolner  contributed  the  portrait  of  Tennyson.

'^  /  ^,  his  Initials,  and  the  Preliminary  Note  also  so  Signed. 

•^  12  pp.  4to,  interleaved  and  bound  in  dark  green  crushed 

levant  morocco,  gilt  edges,  by  Riviere. 

*'  *At  the  time  when  this  translation  was  made  Rossetti  signed 

himself  "Gabriel  Charles,"  and  this  MS.  is  so  initialled  twice. 
Bound  with  it  is  a  MS.  note  of  authentification  of  the  Cavalier 
Mortara,  a  friend  of  the  Rossetti  household  in  London,  and  one 
who  encouraged  the  young  Gabriel  in  his  literary  aud  artistic 
tastes.  This  note,  which  is  in  Italian,  states  that  he  received 
this  MS.  in  the  middle  of  June,  1844,  a  few  days  after  it  had 
been  translated  by  his  friend  of  16. 

Rossetti's  brother,  W.  M.  Rossetti,  in  1895  could  only  recall 
two  verses  of  this  translation,  and  of  it  he  says,  "  This  likewise 
has  perished."  He  was  no  doubt  ignorant  of  the  fact  that  the 
MS.  was  in  existence  in  the  present  form.  He  mentions  the 
"Lenore"  as  the  first  translation  of  any  importance  that  Dante 
Rossetti  ever  undertook. 

Inserted  also  is  a  rare  lithograph  (and  the  only  one 
EVER  executed  by  Rossetti)  "Juliette";  doubtless  also  from 
the  collection  of  the  Cavalier  Mortara.

*  In  1895  W.  M.  Eossetti  says,  "/  have  by  me  a  MS.  of  an 
effusion  William  and  Marie  written  when  my  brother  was  15, 

in  a  style  which  is  compounded  of  Walter  Scott  and  the  old       ^    y^ 
Scottish  ballads;  it  may  also  present  some  trace  of  Burger's     JZ^^,  — — 
'Lenore.'      This    my    brother    offered    for    publication    to    the 
Editor   of   some   magazine — I  fancy   Smallwood's   Magazine — 
along  with  an  outline  design  to  illustrate  it — The  Editor  was  ' 

too  sensible  to  p^iblish  either  poem  or  design.  This  transaction 
belongs  to  a  period  a  little  later  tJmn  when.  Rossetti  left  school." 
It  is  interesting  to  note  that  one  of  the  earliest  of  the  writ- 
ings of  Sir  Walter  Scott  was  a  translation  from  Burger 's  ' '  Le- 
nore ' '  which  he  called  William  and  Helen.

EXCEEDINGLY  RARE.     PRESENTATION  COPY  FROM  RUSKIN'S 

FATHER. 

1150.  [RUSKIN  (JOHN).]  Poems.  J.  R.  Collected 
1850.  [Imprint  on  verso  of  title  and  last  leaf.]  12mo, 
original  green  cloth,  gilt  Ija-e  stamped  on  side,  gilt  edges. 

Lond. :  Spottiswoode  and  Shaw,  New  Street  Square  [1850] 

*The  exceedingly  rare  First  Edition. 

This  little  volume  was  not  published  but  merely  printed  in 
an  edition  of  fifty  copies  for  private  circulation,  and  has  now- 
become  the  rara  avis  of  Ruskin  literature.  All  the  poems  con- 
tained in  the  volume  were  written  between  the  ages  of  14  and 
26,  and  at  the  head  of  each  poem  is  given  the  author's  age. 

This  copy  is  of  particular  interest  as  it  bears  the 

inscription    in     the   autograph    of     the    author's    FATHER: 

"To  Lady  Colquhoun,  with  the  Author's  Father's  very  Kind 
Regards,"  ivhich  justify  the  belief  that  the  volume  teas  printed 
at  the  expense  of  Ruskin' s  father,  and  for  private  circidation. 
This  copy  is  in  beautiful  condition,  with  the  original  gilt 
cloth  and  its  side  stamp  of  a  gilt  lyre  as  bright  as  on  the  day  of 
issue.

*  Privately  printed.  The  earliest  extant  poetical  production 
of  Shelley,  written  at  the  age  of  18.  Shortly  after  its  publication 
Shelley  was  expelled  from  Oxford.  The  extraordinary  rarity 
of  this  volume  is  alluded  to  by  Hogg,  who,  in  writing  the  Life 
of  Shelley  in  1858,  was  unable  to  find  a  copy.  Medwin,  speak- 
ing of  the  copy  Shelley  gave  him,  says:  ''Probably  the  copy  I 
have  is  the  only  one  existing."

instead  of  "A.  C.  Swinburne."  The  book  was  "Affectionately 
Inscribed  to  Dante  Gabriel  Rossetti,"  and  this  is  the  "  dedica- 
tion copy,"  having  this  inscription  on  the  half-title  in  the 
author's  autograph,  "  D.  G.  Rossetti  from  his  friend  A.  C 
Swinburne."  (The  top  corner  is  torn  off  the  back  label.)  The 
most  interesting  copy  extant.  Enclosed  in  new  green  mo-

Lond. :  Edward  Moxon  &  Co. ;  Dover  Street,  1866 

*  Fine  copy,  suppressed  and  extremely  scarce.  Some 
copies  exist  with  Hotten's  title-page,  which  are  nearly  always 
catalogued  as  "  first  edition,  with  Hotten's  title-page."  The 
edition  with  the  Moxon  title-page  is,  however,  the  genuine 
FIRST  issue,  and  contains  the  two  stanzas  of  "Felise"  on 
page  23,  printed  in  a  different  type  from  that  used  for  the 
balance  of  the  work.  The  cloth  covers  contain  the  publishers' 
cipher  on  the  front.  The  original  appearance  of  ' '  Poems  and 
Ballads  "  was  met  by  such  a  whirlwind  of  abuse  and  hysterical 
criticism,  that  the  publishers  explained  to  the  public  that  they 
were  unaware  of  the  nature  of  the  poems  they  had  laid  before 
the  public,  and  suppressed  the  edition  before  it  got  into  general 
circulation.

*  This  is  one  of  the  earliest  and  most  outspoken  of  Mr.  Swin- 
burne's Revolutionary  and  Republican  utterances,  and, although 
in  later  writings  his  views  have  been  modified,  it  is  supposed 
that  the  laureateship  would  have  been  filled  by  him  at  the 
present  time,  but  for  these  earlier  productions.  This  poem  was 
included  in  the  first  edition  of  "  Songs  of  Two  Nations  "  pub- 
lished in  1875.  The  edition  printed  was  a  very  limited  one, 
and  it  has  never  been  reprinted  in  separate  form.

Clandeboye:  Privately  printed  [1861] 

*  (Collation:  7  leaves,  the  last  blank,  as  described  below.) 
The  tower  which  Tennyson's  poem  commemorates  was  qrected 
by  Lord  Dufferin  on  his  estate  near  Belfast  in  Ireland,  in  mem- 
ory of  his  mother.  In  a  letter  to  Tennyson,  dated  September 
24,  1861,  printed  in  the  Memoir,  he  says  in  part: 

"Now  there  is  only  one  thing  wanting  to  make  it  a  perfect 
little  gem  of  architecture  and  decoration,  and  that  is  a  'voice.' 
It  is  now  ten  years  since  it  was  built  and  all  that  time  it  has 
stood  silent.  Yet  if  he  chose  there  is  one  person  in  the  world 
able  to  endow  it  with  this  priceless  gift,  and  by  sending  me  some 
little  short  distich  for  it  to  crown  it  forever  with  a  glory  it  can- 
not otherwise  obtain,  and  render  it  a  memorial  of  the  personal 
friendship  which  its  builder  felt  for  the  great  poet  of  our  age." 

In  the  letter  above  quoted  Lord  Dufferin  says  that  in  1861 

169 


7- 


tho  tower  had  already  been  built  ten  years,  and  a  careful  ex- 
amination of  the  pamphlet  of  which  Tennyson's  verses  form  a 
part,  leads  us  to  believe  that  the  book  itself  was  printed  in  1850 
or  1851.  As  originally  made  up  it  seems  to  have  consisted  of 
four  leaves,  the  last  blank  with  an  engraved  title,  printed  sepa- 
rately on  heavy  paper,  the  whole  enclosed  in  a  glazed  paper 
cover,  with  lining  and  fly-leaf,  back  and  front,  of  a  gilt  starred 
paper,  and  with  blank  white  fly-leaf  at  back  and  front.  The 
first  leaf  has  on  the  recto,  printed  in  red  and  black: 

"XXth  day  of  November  MDCCCL.  This  day  at  3  of  ye 
clock  did  I  Catherine  Hamilton  christen  this  Tower  by  ye  name 
style  and  title  of  Helen's  Tower.     Catherine  Hamilton." 

This  is  followed  by  the  names  of  thirteen  witnesses. 

Page  2  is  blank.  Pages  3  to  5  are  filled  by  the  verses  written 
by  Lord  Dufferin's  mother  and  given  to  him  when  he  became  of 
age.  These  verses  are  dated  at  end  "June  21st,  1847."  Pages 
6,  7  and  8  were  blank. 

On  receipt  of  Tennyson's  verses  a  new  leaf  seems  to  have 
been  printed.     It  contains  this  inscription  on  recto: 

"On  Wednesday,  October 23, 1861, Helen's  Tower  was  finished, 
and  the  flag  hoisted  by  us. 

This  is  signed  by  Helen  McDonnell  and  Harriet  Hamilton. 
Tennyson  's  verses  are  on  verso  of  this  leaf.  The  blank  leaf  at 
end,  pages  7  and  8  of  the  original  pamphlet,  was  cut  out,  and  on 
the  stub  which  was  left  this  new  leaf  was  mounted,  forming 
pages  7  and  8  of  the  present  book.  Again  in  1870  Lord  Duf- 
f  erin  had  still  a  new  leaf  printed.  This  contains  a  poem  ' '  Hel- 
en's  Tower,"  by  Eobert  Browning,  dated  April  26,  1870;  this 
is  printed  on  the  recto  of  the  first  leaf  of  a  sheet  of  two  leaves, 
pages  2  and  4  of  which  are  blank.  These  two  leaves  were  inserted 
by  gumming  them  upon  the  leaf  containing  the  Tennyson  poem. 

A  copy  of  Helen 's  Tower,  apparently  lacking  the  last  leaf 
containing  Browning's  Poem,  sold  at  Sotheby's  in  1900  for  £56 — 
Tennyson's  poem  was  first  reprinted  by  him  in  the  "Teresias" 
volume  in  1885,  though  it  had  been  printed  in  "Good  Words" 
in  January,  1884,  with  a  description  of  the  tower  by  Charles 
Blatherwick.

In  his  Bibliography  of  Tennyson,  Eichard  Heme  Shepherd 
remarks  concerning  this  item — "Neither  of  these  plays  {The 
Falcon  or  The  Cup)  had  been  published  at  the  time  (of  repre- 
sentation) ;  and  it  therefore  seems  probable  that  a  small  edition 
of  both  was  privately  printed  for  the  use  of  the  actors,  etc.  I 
merely  hazard  this  as  a  conjecture,  but  do  not  possess  special 
information  on  the  subject,  still  less  did  I  ever  see  or  hear  of  a 
copy  of  either. ' '

printing  of  the  poem  either  in  its  Magazine  form  (  Macmil- 
lan's  FOR  April,  1887)  or  in  the  "Author's  Private  Edi- 
tion" published  about  the  same  time. 

^1  .^  The  poem,  as  the  title  indicates,  was  written  in  honor  of  the 

^   i    "-  '  Jubilee  of  Queen  Victoria  and  was  published  in  Macmillan' s 

''^  Magazine  for  April,   1887.     This  pamphlet,  however,  was  put 

into  type  at  a  date  anterior  to  the  composition  of  the  Magazine, 
but  was  not  given  out  till  May,  the  half-title  and  last  leaf, 
forming  the  original  covers,  not  having  been  struck  off  till  that 
date.  The  text,  therefore,  of  this  issue  (i.  e.  pp.  1-8)  constitutes 
the  very  earliest  printing  of  the  poem.  In  the  issue  known  as 
the  * '  Author 's  private  edition, ' '  the  text  is  considerably  altered, 
hence  the  above  presents  the  first  and  only  separate  printing 

OF  THE  poem  as  IT  "WAS  ORIGINALLY  WRITTEN. 

According  to  Mr.  Geo.  A.  Macmillan  (in  a  letter  to  Mr. 
Thomas  J.  Wise)  only  50  copies  of  the  pamphlet  were  printed 
in  all. 

Accompanying  the  present  copy  is  the  original  publishers' 
envelope  in  which  the  pamphlet  was  delivered  to  its  first  owner.

ment. The  front  wrapper  bears  an  etching  of  Napoleon 
lying  in  state,  by  Thackeray,  and  four  full-page  woodcuts. 
Not  only  a  rarity  as  a  Thackeray  First  Edition,  but  lacking  in 
most  Napoleon  collections.  It  is  difficult  to  estimate  the 
scarcity  of  this  volume ;  perhaps  not  five  copies  are  owned  in 
this  country. 

Thackeray  had  not  yet  finished  "Vanity  Fair,"  and  so  had 
not  become  famous  at  the  time  of  writing  this  pamphlet.  He 
was  in  Paris  at  the  time  Napoleon's  body  was  brought  there 
from  St.  Helena,  and,  although  it  is  one  of  his  finest  pieces  of 
descriptive  writing,  he  realized  nothing  from  the  sale  of  it  and 
it  became  lost  to  circulation  almost  immediately.

"The  Complete  Angler"  ever  issued.  The  text  is  printed  by 
Whittingham,  with  a  large  beautiful  type,  and  is  that  of  the  ^ 

fifth  edition,  with  the  variations  of  the  four  previous  editions 
indicated  at  the  foot  of  each  page.  The  charming  embellish- 
ments after  Stothard  and  Inskipp  are  all  beautifully  engraved 
on  copper  and  steel  and  are  splendid  examples  of  the  best  Eng- 
lish engraving  by  some  of  the  foremost  engravers.  Those  by 
Stothard  consist  of  the  scenic  plates,  and  the  views  of  the 
localities,  which  were  painted  on  the  spot.  The  fishes  were 
painted  from  nature  by  Inskipp,  who,  to  distinguished  ability 
in  his  profession  unite  the  knowledge  and  ardor  of  a  skilful 
angler.

Ruskin's  attack  on  Whistler  and  his  art  [criticising  his  Gros- 
vernor  Gallery  "iVbc^wrne  "  as  "  a  pot  of  paint  flung  in  the 
Public  Face"]  in  Fors  Clavigera  (1877)  led  to  a  famous  lawsuit,

Whistler  gave  this  copy,  was  the  famous  London  dramatic 
critic  and  author.

Literature  to  which  I  have  paid  great  attention,  I  mean  Poetry 
the  best  models  are  those  which  have  stood  the  test  of  ages,  and 
that  in  reading  these,  as  indeed  all  others,  we  should  keep  the 
understanding  ini  constant  exercise. .  .  This  most  important  con- 
sideration is  apt  to  be  overlooked,  and  the  appropriate  ends  of 
Poetry  are  thought  to  be  answer 'd  if  only  the  Imagination  be 
excited  and  the  Passions  moved. ' ' 

This  letter  from  the  author  of  such  noble  poems  as  "Tintern 
Abbey,"  "Yarrow  Eevisited,"  "The  White  Doe"  and  the 
"Ode  on  Immortality"  is  of  wonderful  interest.  It  bears  no 
evidence  of  any  care  in  composition,  as  there  are  blots,  words 
erased,  and  written  over  or  interpolated,  throughout  the  entire 
letter.

••  My  wish  is  that  my  Drawings,  my  Prints,  my  Curiosities, 
my  Books — in  a  word  these  things  of  art  which  have  been 
the  joy  of  my  life — shall  not  be  consigned  to  the  cold  tomb 
of  a  museum,  and  subjected  to  the  stupid  glance  of  the 
careless  passer-by ;  but  I  require  that  they  shall  all  be 
dispersed  under  the  hammer  of  the  Auctioneer,  so  that  the 
pleasure  which  the  acquiring  of  each  one  of  them  has  given 
me  shall  be  given  again,  in  each  case,  to  some  inheritor  of 
my  own  tastes."
